I didn't even think I would win it rather I figured I would be outbid. I couldn't believe I won it for that price. I didn't have that much more on my bid.
Also I use tape on every straight I hone with the exception of one W&B wedge I have. When I won it, I needed some good scales & it was cheap because it appeared to be rusted but after some time, I decided to clean the blade up & it came out not so bad as it first looked to be & my straight razor friend who lives nearby asked if he could hone it & I handed it to him. A short while later he sent me a short video clip from his phone of it popping hairs. It has turned out to be one of my favorite shavers. After time I have acquired quite a few sets of scales & original collars so I put this one back together & you can hardly tell it has been taken apart.

Back to the C V Heljestrand SE razor, I would like to get maybe at least one extra blade. One poster here has written me a pm that he has a few blades so I may get a spare for it. I would rather have at least one that has not been chipped even though I hope this one can be honed out with a little luck but an extra for it would certainly be great!

The chip is approximately .62mm

Nice find Steve
Reminds me of my Rolls, but much nicer. Hard to beat Swedish steel.

Great catch Steve! that chip looks very small to me, hone it up and use it!

Wow, nice find, Steve.

I guess is that that little nick isn't goint to do a lot of harm while shaving.

Abova all, it's a thing of beauty.

Personally i wouldn't feel so good about that....

Going back to the original auction, it is obvious that the seller had no idea what he was selling.

No Martin I found a message from him & he wanted it back bad so I sent him the money back & he was trying to get it back again because apparently it didn't go for what he expected to after he told me he was afraid that he would get a bad feedback but I'm not that way unless a seller is very rude to me. In all the years I have been doing business on eBay, 13 years since 2002, I have only left two negative feedbacks but they deserved it & I would check in on them from time to time & they were getting more negatives. One eventually isn't an eBay member anymore because she kept screwing people over. There was one more I was going to leave a negative for but that seller closed his/her account before I could leave it.
I wrote this guy back & I told him it was a contract so don't be trying to get it back. I even called eBay about it & they took my side & told me if he tries to get it back to call them back. Apparently he did know it was chipped but didn't mention it & then he wanted it back so when I make a deal like that & have a minor issue with it, I'll just eat it. I actually deleted my post as you were writing yours.

Lemme get this straight, Steve. You got your money back, right? Seems you are then obligated to send it back?
I am missing something here?

No Tom, I had already left him a positive feedback but I guess I should have just let it go because he refunded the money & I looked at my messages & he wanted it back so I said that I still wanted it, so I repaid him but then he sent a refund again so I paid him again & I told him, "Look I left you a positive feedback so it isn't like I wanted a refund". This went on after my last message last night on here & so I called eBay & told them what was going on today. They said as long as I was happy with it, I was ok but I think he was thinking he should have gotten more for it which is why he kept refunding me & as soon as I said that he failed to mention the chip, he sent a refund w/o asking me what I would like to do & kept doing it after I paid him again. If I had not sent him a feedback yet, then eBay would have made me send it back but because I did as soon as I got it, he had no leg to stand on. They said that they were going to contact him about it & he stopped the crap! He had apparently done this once before but it had been awhile back & the rep told me that he figured they wouldn't see that but they went back & saw that he had done it but it had been over a year ago. If he expected to get more for it, he should have put a reserve on it.
I listed a Morgan silver dollar once & I check my listings before I submit them & after. Once submitted, I looked & it said bin & I had hit the auction button, not fixed price so I went back to revise it & it was too late, someone had bought it & I lost money on that one. I called eBay about it & I told them what happened & they said that things like that have happened but very rarely & were apologetic. They did ask me if I had cleared my cookies & I do that before I list something. I had to let it go & I wasn't happy about it but I didn't try to refund the guy his money or cancel the transaction. Weird things happen sometimes & we just have to eat it. They did send me a gift card or credit because it happened.
What a day it has been!
I blocked him just in case he decides to buy something from me just to leave a retaliatory feedback.

I was just pointing it out to try & help him in the future. It's like last night I saw a restored Greaves selling as shave ready for $175 & it had a bid on it. As I looked at the pics, I could see a nick in the blade, so I sent the seller a message in a nice way with minutes left for it to end. He wrote me back after the auction ended & was very nice & appreciated that I pointed it out to him. He said he had to look at it under magnification & he saw it. He wrote me again today leaving his phone number plus thanking me again for bringing it to his attention & that he was going to fix it before he shipped it out.

NOTE: Just to clear any confusion up, I had gone to my purchased items to check the tracking on some recon turquoise & I had noticed the C V Heljistrand status had changed so I knew he had given me a refund which was when I wrote "Christmas came early" on here. I then thought to check my messages & so I did & he wrote back & said he wanted it back so I came back & removed my post. Then I paid him back telling him I wasn't looking for a refund & he started a big stink over it returning the refund so I paid again & I told him I left him positive feedback when I got it. I was just trying to help the guy out for any future listings he might have. That was when he kept returning the payment but I finally got it all straightened out after a lot of time on the phone with the bay. Also I wasn't looking to buy the Greaves but sometimes I watch auctions & i just so happened to see the nick in the blade which was when I sent the seller a message.
I apologize for any confusion I may have caused.

If you left him a positive feedback why would he even think of leaving you a retaliatory negative feedback?
